G. Willow Wilson

G. Willow Wilson

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett, The Shepherd's Crown

Andy Weir

If an earthquake levels a city, people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so fundamentally human that it's found in every culture without exception.

Terry Pratchett, The Shepherd's Crown

Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower
